Au
The district combines the two historic districts of Au and Haidhausen and is located on the eastern bank of the Isar. Most of the Au is located on the banks of the Isar itself, and to a lesser extent on the Isarhochufer, while Haidhausen is entirely located on the Isarhochterasse.
Au-Haidhausen, the cultural district
Location
The district connects the two historic districts of Au and Haidhausen and is located on the eastern bank of the Isar. Most of Au is located on the banks of the Isar itself, with a smaller part on the high banks of the Isar, while Haidhausen is located entirely on the Isarhochterasse.
Lifestyle
In terms of architecture, the most interesting part of Au-Haidhausen is the French Quarter, which has only quiet traffic and where numerous corner stores have been preserved. Not far from here, Wiener Platz with its weekly market offers another idyllic haven of peace and in winter even a picturesque Christmas market.
The central sights of the district are the Maximilianeum, which also makes a great impression from the other side of the Isar with its elaborate backdrop architecture, and the cultural area around the two large event centers Gasteig and Muffatwerk. A variety of events take place there all year round, from concerts to events and movie nights to parties.
Development
This former working-class district of Au-Haidhausen gains its charm from the many nested old buildings and is particularly popular with young people and offers many beautiful properties. While it was initially characterized by simple buildings from the post-war years, it became a central redevelopment area of the city from the 1970s onwards, transforming it from a suburb to a city fringe district. Beautiful apartments can be found here and in the equally central neighboring districts of Altstadt, Bogenhausen and Lehel.
